Narrator: Back at London Road, Logan and Grant sat in her office drinking tea and thinking about the case. There was a knock at the door and Sergeant Graham came in. He was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt under the same brown leather jacket he had been wearing when he had met Logan on Calton Hill.
Sergeant Graham: We`ve found out where Balfour was sitting in the Usher Hall...
He had a number of pieces of paper in his hand which he looked at from time to time as he was speaking. .....The ticket office keeps all its records on computer. He and Rutherford were in different parts of the hall and on different levels. She was at the top in the cheap seats and he was at ground floor-level near the back. It`s possible they saw each other but we can`t say for certain.
Graham paused, waiting to see if Logan or Grant had any questions...they didn`t.
Sergeant Graham: We`ve also talked to everyone who was at Kenneth Henderson`s party, he continued, and we`ve had no luck there. Quite a few people talked to Fran Stewart; quite a few people saw her talking to other people. Nobody saw her talking to David Balfour. Everyone said she was nice but serious. Nobody was seen trying to chat her up and nobody left the party with her. We`re quite sure about that. Some of the other girls were in the hall when she left.
Logan: Things aren`t getting any easier, are they?
Sergeant Graham: Worse, actually......We can`t find Billy Marr.
Sergeant Grant & Logan: What? ......Grant and Logan at the same time and sat forward in their chairs.
Sergeant Graham: Well, he`s not at home, and he hasn`t been home all day. We`ve also had a look in some of the places where he usually spends time but so far no luck.
Logan: OK. Just keep looking for him. Give his description to all the police officers out on the streets tonight. Let them know that we`re looking for him.
Sergeant Graham: OK, ma’am, and, finally, we have the list of researchers. He gave some papers to Logan and some to Grant. I made copies for both of you.
Logan: Good...... Both of you have a look through these. She looked at Grant and Graham. Take them away and go through them. If you find anything interesting, let me know immediately. If not, I`ll see you tomorrow morning.
Narrator: Grant and Graham left the room. Perhaps they would find out something useful at The Meadows the following night; Logan certainly hopes so. It had been almost a week since Clare Rutherford had disappeared. Rutherford was now dead and so was Frances Stewart. The longer an investigation continued, the less chance there was of finding the murderer.
